Five engagement
shapes
I’m industry-agnostic: operators in the real economy, founders of agencies, SaaS and VC-backed teams who think like them. Pick the shape that matches what’s broken, or send a paragraph and I’ll tell you which one fits.
Who I don’t work with: pre-product founders looking for a co-founder; teams looking for a junior they can call senior. No offense. Wrong fit, wrong room.
Pick the shape that fits.
- 01
Fractional CMO / CTO
1–2 days a week, inside your team, 3–6 months.
Embedded as your fractional CMO when the growth engine needs building, or fractional CTO when the product, AI and ops stack does. I sit in your standups, draft the artefacts, and leave the muscle behind, not a deck, a working function.
Budget: By engagement - 02
Sprint
A 4–8 week diagnostic + roadmap.
Fixed scope, fixed fee. For teams who know something's wrong but can't name it. You leave with a working diagnosis and the next-90-days plan.
Budget: By engagement - 03
Advisory · Retainer
Monthly calls, async access, light-touch.
For founders who want a second pair of eyes on hard decisions. No deliverables, just the call when you need it and the WhatsApp when you don't.
Budget: By engagement - 04
Speaking
Keynotes, panels, podcast appearances.
Topics: building companies from Sri Lanka for foreign markets · marketing and personal brand · personal finance in foreign currency · cross-border business · building a business, and a life, from anywhere.
Budget: By engagement - 05
Brand collaborations
Considered partnerships.
Tools, platforms, and operators I actually use. Not affiliate links. Long-form takes, integrations, and joint pieces, when the fit is real.
Budget: By engagement
If any of these is you, we should talk.
- You run a real business, any industry, and "add AI" has been on the roadmap for a year without anyone telling you what to actually do first.
- You need a senior marketing or technology lead but not a full-time one, a fractional CMO or CTO who ships rather than reports.
- You're a Series A founder with a GTM motion that worked at $1M ARR and is quietly breaking at $5M.
- You're a VC and a portfolio company needs an operator advisor, not another deck reviewer.
- You're an agency founder thinking about the AI-native pivot, what to keep, what to kill, what to rebuild.
- You're a CFO whose ops team is drowning in PDFs and your finance stack is older than the LLMs you keep hearing about.
